External bonnet catches
Hi guys,
I need some new external bonnet catches for my minari. Im thinking of the clip kind but id be open to other suggestions.
Im trying to do this on a budget so anything cheap that you have lying around would be appreciated.
Oh, and it doesn't need to be IVA compliant.
Thanks!

I would use bonnet pins, but I want to put the catches on the side of the car, like this (in the red):
Otherwise the sides of the GRP bonnet stick out a bit.

ah i see, in that case aero catches will work, and sit flush on the panel. they work in a way that the pin can enter the side of the catch. so pin
sticks up from the panel underneath, and goes into the side of the catch.
here's a video of the installation options

Ill order some tomorrow unless anyone else has a cheaper alternative?

But if you have something in mind, and it won't put you in the poor house, you have to have something that looks good to you.
